The first OF the Sunday limited excursions to
the famous caverns of Luray will take place on
Sunday, July 8, and from present indications
promises to have the limited number sold by
Saturday, the day previous. As the number
from this city is limited to two hundred peo-
pie, those desiring to go should purchase early,
as no more than the designated number above
Will be sold under any consideration. The
fame OF the Luray Caverns is worldwide, and
the grand scenery en- route, embracing the
Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and valleys,
also famed IIarpers Ferry, is well worth the
cost of the trip.
Each ticket entities the holder to q reserved
seat coupon for the day There is no crowding
or confusion either going or returning. Small
parcels and packages can be left in the cars
with perfect safety, as the cars are locked and
guarded by special watchmen. Covered
phRetons transfer passengers to and from the
caverns, projecting them from the sun aud
rain, so that the weather has nothing to do
with the success OF the trip. No change of
clothing is required to visit the caverns but
pair of rubber shoes for ladies would be prefer
able, although not indispensable, as the caverns
arc comparatively dry. The caves are lighted
by electric light, and all their hidden treasures
ure fully displayed, The round-trip rate In
Guiding admission to the Caverns, is $3.50
Train leaves depot, corner Of N. J. ave. and G
street, at $3.50 q. m, returning p m, allowing
four hours at the caverns.

HERE HE IS AGAIN.
More Proof That the Sea Serpent IL
Visiting the Pacific Coast.
From the Riverside Enterprise.

From the Riverside Enterprise.
Jacob Liebig resides about ten miles TO
the southwark of Riverside and for several
years has been making permanent improve
ments on tract of land which he has
brought to an excellent degree of cultivation.
A few days ago he had occasion to ascend
an elevated ridge adjoining his ranch which
commands a somewhat extended view in
the direction of Los Angeles. He was
accompanied by his nephew. They were
looking for some lost cattle and had taken
powerful field glass with them. While
closely inspecting the valley beneath their
attention was attracted by a strange move
meDt In a sand duue at the foot of a cliff.
In few moments they began to realize
that vast python had camped there for
the night, and was beginning to unwind
himself for another days travel The snake
by estimate was about 120 feet long, with a
head something the shape of huge beer
cask. It's body was covered with scales, any
one of which would make a splendid roof
for an ordinary dwelling. Its eyes were
fiery, and resembled the head light of a
locomotive seen at a considerable distance.
Mr. Liebig became somewhat excited, and,
loading his shotgun, fired four times at the
loathsome monster. Some of the shot must
have taken effect, for the serpant raised his
DBdl dOOatb lCtt III bllC an ANU D6itoWtu
hideously, opening his mouth very wide.
The view of the interior of his mouth was
appalling IL was like looking into great
tunnel lighted by slumbering volcanic fires.
Mr.. Lebig and his nephew took to their
heels, and never stopped until they reached
Riverside No one doubts their story in the
least, and it is generally believed that this is
the great sea serpent which was swimming
around Santa Monica a few days ago. The
hearing that the smallpox was getting to he
pretty bad, he altered his course and pushed
inland The fact that Mr.. Liebig and his
nephew had been on spree for a week, and
had seen quite IA number of other strange
objects IN no wise detI'acts from the merits
Of their story. Mr.. Liebig is the gentlemen
who some time ago eldeavored to enlist
local capital in project TO crown Mount
Baldy with an immens orange grove, to be
irrigated with salt water. Ii anybody else
secs the snake prompt information should be
sent TO this Office.

Won MoLTKEs SCOTCH BLOOD.
The Great German General Descended
from the Highlanders.
FfoDl tle Scotsnldn.

FROM Ute ioCOtSHlu1t.
The Macgillonies of Strone acted against
the interests of their chief, Lochel, and Sc
cured the favor of the Lord of the Isle, for
the names of their lands are not in the char
ter that was given to John Carve for the
other places in Lochaber. On one occas
sion, when the MacI.eans were defeated, the
Young widow of one of them fled with her
child TO Strone, and placed him under the
protection of the Macgillonies, who acted
most friendly part to him, and reared him
carefully until i'm the course of time he was
restored to his kinsmen. He became stall
wart man in the course Of years, and was
known as John of Lochaber, lain Abrach,
which term continued as the patronymic of
the lairds of Coll until they ceased to exist
as such.
Count Won Moltke is the direct descen-
dant of this child 80 kindly sheltered in
Strone: in fact, he is a MacLean OF the
house of Mac1ain Abrach, his grandfather
having been a son Of one OF the lairds of
Coll The grandfather and one OF his
brothers went as young men to Copen-
hagen, where they were successful in push
ing on 10 good positions, and the Count has
proved true TO the warlike proclivities of
his race. The Count is not the only distin-
guished son of lain Abrach whose name has
been known to this generation, for the late
Hobart Pasha was greatgrandson of the
laird OF Coll, whose daughter was married
10 the Earl of Buckinghamshire. The
present excellet chief of the clan Cameron
the late NJ. r. for Invernesshire--is also the
Oreaf-grandson of this dcscendent of the ari-
cient foe of his house, through his mother,
Lady We're Hobart; and among the Others
we may mention the name of Commander
Cameron Of African fame, who y the great
grandson Of ilady of the house Of Coll.
This ladys husband was the son OF DR..
Archibald Cameron, the brother Of the gem
tie Lochiel Of the '45, and their SON Hector,
the grandfather of Commander Cameron,
was Born in Oban. This Hector was dis
tifgusned soldior and was Mayor OF Paris
during the occupation o. the allies after the
capture Of Napoleon Boaaparte.

A MOUNTAIN BULLY
Who Turned Out to Be One of the
Bravest of the Brave.

From the KnorUille Sentinel.
A few years ago there died in mountain
county in East Tennessee man who was
noted bully He was splendid specimen
of physical manhood, and was in every re-
spect fighting bully. He would fight at
the drop of hat, and could knock out
half dozen ordinary men in one round. lie
would fight for the fun of it, and he who
would dare cross his path was
indeed reckless man. In the
old days of State militia and
muster he was prominent man in the
neighborhood and colonel of a militia regl-
ment. On muster days, when the drll was
over, he would proceed to clean up the regl-
ment. When he shed his coat, twisted his
huge fist around a few times and yelled at
the top of his voice: Hide out, little 'uns,
I'm comin!" there would be general
stampede. This was how he came to be
called "Old Hide Out" in after years
When the late war came on he joined one
of the Confederate regiments and made
brave, fearless soldier. During slight
slirmish his company had with the Federais
down in Georgia he took his gun by the
muzzle, and, with his old time watchword,
Hide out little uns, I'm comirgW rushed
into the midst Of the Federal soldiers, put
ting them to flight; not, however, WITHOUT
receiving serious wound in the head, Wllcn
put him into the hospital for months and
permanently injured his mind.
When he returned to his native country
ne was not the fearless bully of old, but
much-broken, stoop-shouldered and crazy
old man. He would stroll through the
neighborhood aimlessly and seemingly un-
conscious Of his whereabouts, always NUT
tering to himself as he went: Hide out,
little 'uns, I'm a coming" Little boys and
girls would make sport of him, and "Old
Hide" as they called him, paid no heed to
their mockery. He had become perfectly
harmless.
AT last the old man became mortally ILL.,
He was allne in a little cabin provided for
his use by an old comrade in the army. A
few friends vino had known him in his
better days gathered around his humble
couch expecting the end. II was now late
In the afternoon, and the old fellow had not
spoken for days. He was rapidly sinking,
and some one remarked that he would 60
down with the sun, which was then pouring
its last rays through the chnks and creyices
of the cabin wall just then his face seemed
TO tighten up, his eyes twinkled, and he
opened his lips
Hide out, little 'uns, I'm COM"
But he never completed his sentence. He
had gone.
